About this position
The University of Copenhagen is recruiting a Postdoc in Translational Metabolic Research and Digital Biomarkers of Glucose Homeostasis in the Treebak Group at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research (CBMR).
This postdoctoral project focuses on uncovering novel digital biomarkers of glucose homeostasis using high-resolution continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data from both mice and humans. The work combines molecular biology, physiology, computational biology, biostatistics, and machine learning to extract, characterize, and validate biomarkers from large-scale time-series datasets. A key goal is to assess translational relevance by aligning murine findings with human CGM data and clinical indicators of metabolic health, and to back-translate human glycemic signatures into mechanistic mouse studies.
The position is based at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and is part of the CBMR International PhD & Postdoc Program. It is a full-time 2-year postdoc with salary, pension, and employment terms according to Danish university agreements; a supplement may be negotiated depending on qualifications. The post is aimed at early-career researchers with a basic science background or clinicians interested in academic medicine.
Eligibility and requirements: applicants must hold a PhD in biomedical sciences, physiology, computational biology, biostatistics, or a related quantitative life science discipline. Strong experience with large-scale time-series or high-dimensional data analysis, proficiency in R and/or Python, and a solid understanding of metabolic physiology, especially glucose homeostasis and insulin action, are required. Experience with CGM or similar longitudinal datasets and familiarity with advanced data-driven methods are highly desirable. For this program, applicants must have a PhD from outside Denmark, or a Danish PhD plus at least 12 months of full-time research experience outside Denmark; the PhD must be obtained before 2026-11-15.
Application deadline: 2026-08-24 at 23:59 CEST. Apply online in English and upload a cover letter, CV, degree certificates (or supervisor statement if the PhD is pending), publication list, and at least two references.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
